Hello :)

I just tried to install Civ 3 complete edition on my XP machine (p4 2.4 Ghz, 1.5GB RAM, Geforce 4 MX 4000). It installs fine but upon trying to play it, after the initial company logos, I get a blank screen with my monitor lights blinking. I tried a couple of different versions of Nvidia driver, also tried changing the resolution settings to every option that my monitor supports, but I still get the blank screen. Could someone kindly shed some light on this please? Also, once the monitor goes on the blink, is the only option to restart? For me, alt+tab or alt+ctrl+del just keeps showing the same blank screen and I have to reboot.Hope someone can help.
